About This Trial
the introduction of new MV modalities has shown promising results in reducing the incidence of weaning failure, mainly due to a more physiologic approach which allows respiratory muscle preservation. Among them, the Neurally Adjust Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) seemed to be associated with lower incidence of weaning failure and subsequent duration of mechanical ventilation, compared to standard modali…
